[The emotion passes through the sieve of Communion, volatile and barbed, and he wonders if he's made some unknown transgression. He can only imagine his family's reaction to such words. Road, giggling madly, See? You should get married, Uncle; his brother's affected dramatics of all the work he does to secure their "success" and "posterity"; the Earl's eerie grinning smile as he lists off the newest receipt of proposals.

In response to Voryn's crackling sentiment, his own is cool and mild, the faded blue of loneliness. Somehow, that's how he feels to imagine his family's entertainment over this.]


Lord Dagoth. Don't get me wrong, I'd do anything for them. But I don't think marriage was in the cards. It wouldn't really have helped anything for us. You see, I wasn't born into nobility, so if I did marry, it was more to ease the burden of our benefactor in turning away so many brides. My brother is one who held real political power.

"Oblivion"... you'll have to be more specific on what that means. But for freedom, I won't say I'm not glad to be away from high society. It's just not for me. Still, I played the role when I had to.

Besides, that's all gone now. Maybe in the next life.
